Cristine Jin Estrada received her PhD in Electronic and Computer Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2023, where her research involves the design, fabrication, modeling, and circuit simulation of two-dimensional (2-D) transistors. She was a key member of the emerging device and systems group at HKUST, and their work on complementary 2-D transistors received the best paper award at the 51st IEEE European Solid-State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC) in 2021, which is the largest conference in the area of semiconductor devices and circuits in Europe. She also received her MPhil in ECE at HK国产吃瓜黑料一区二区with a nanotechnology concentration in 2020, where she developed the first compact model for the current-assisted photonic demodulator (CAPD), a time-of-flight (ToF) CMOS image sensor, which can enable ToF circuit designers to simulate their whole pixel design, including the peripherals. Consequently, she was awarded the best student paper for the CAPD compact modeling at the IEEE Student Symposium on Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (s-EDSSC) in Hong Kong in 2020.
Given her academic excellence, research ability and potential, communication and interpersonal skills, and leadership skills, she was awarded a Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS), a highly competitive and prestigious award from the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong wherein only 250 candidates from all over the world are selected in 2020 and was also awarded an HK国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Excellent Research Award in the same year.
She received BSc in Electronics Engineering with Latin honors (Cum Laude) from the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区 (UST) in 2015, where she is a faculty member now. Her research interests involve 2-D materials-based devices and circuits, complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits and sensors, nano-devices fabrication and processing, and device modeling.
